Metal(II) complexes of mixed ligands, Niacin (HL) and m-Toluic(HL1 ), have been synthesized and characterized by percentage metal, infrared and electronic spectroscopies, room temperature magnetic moments, melting points and conductance measurements. The metal analysis shows that the complexes analyze mostly as [M(HL)(HL1 )X].nH2O, where M…
